10 Best Oyster Mushroom Recipes You'll Want To Make Again and Again

Here are 10 amazing oyster mushroom recipes, with both Pleurotus and King Oyster mushrooms, that you’ll want to make again and again! 

Oyster mushrooms are a type of edible mushrooms that have a really good taste, amazing texture and an oyster shape. Their meaty flavor makes oyster mushrooms one of the favorite ingredients for vegans. If you didn’t experiment with this type of mushroom yet, you have no idea what you’re missing!

I’m a big fan of oyster mushrooms, as they are not only delicious but also one of the best meat substitutes for vegan meals. They have the perfect texture when grilled or fried and the perfect taste when marinated, so this makes it very easy to recreate the meat taste! One of the best things about this type of mushrooms is that they don’t lose their shape and size when cooked, which means they are even better for recreating the texture of meat.

Oyster mushrooms are so versatile, you won’t even believe it! You can cook them in various ways and use them as a replacement for steak, scallops, meat filling, pulled pork, calamari and more! You just need to use your imagination and these incredible mushrooms will help you achieve a large variety of dishes. Oyster mushroom recipes are so good that even meat-lovers will appreciate them and maybe they won’t even realize they’re not eating real meat!

If you cannot find fresh king oyster mushrooms, can you use the dehydrated ones? Will it change the texture? Will it absorb more of the broth or marinade flavor?
